In The Room

God, Turn It Around

Keep Me Near (Live Version)

How Far

Help Me Let Go

All Along

Used To Be

[Verse 1]  
Falling through the sky from a tear in space  
Dreamer lands on a world unknown, a silent place  
“This is the Outerlands,” he says, in awe and doubt  
“What life force lies ahead, and why was I sent out?”

He walks the scarred terrain, beneath an amber glow  
Then in the distance sees a village he might know  
He runs toward the light, hope pounding in his chest  
Two figures in the haze—old friends he thought were left  

[Pre-Chorus]  
When echoes rise from time before  
And shadows knock upon your door  
The path you walk is born from flame  
And only you can stake your claim  

[Chorus]  
Stand for your fate, hold your ground  
Even when no hope is found  
Rise from dust, awaken fire  
Defend the world, defy the liar  
Prepare for war, your heart won’t break  
This is the stand that you must make  

[Verse 2]  
“Destiny! Aragon!” Dreamer calls aloud  
The two turn and smile, lost faces in the crowd  
“I thought you’d died in the beast’s cruel storm,” he cries  
“We fled,” they say, “but barely survived.”  

He tells them of the forest, the figure cloaked in night  
Of how he gave him powers but vanished out of sight  
The air grows thick, a storm begins to churn  
Something dark is coming—villagers discern  

[Pre-Chorus]  
When echoes rise from time before  
And shadows knock upon your door  
The path you walk is born from flame  
And only you can stake your claim  

[Chorus]  
Stand for your fate, hold your ground  
Even when no hope is found  
Rise from dust, awaken fire  
Defend the world, defy the liar  
Prepare for war, your heart won’t break  
This is the stand that you must make  

[Guitar Solo – building tension and emotion]

[Verse 3]  
“I feel it… the presence of evil in the air!”  
Dreamer yells, “Get ready, battle’s coming, prepare!”  
Then from the mist, the figure reappears again  
Dreamer’s eyes burn bright with memories and pain  

“You tricked me!” Dreamer roars in broken trust  
The figure smirks, “I was never more than dust…  
A puppet of the one who seeks to bend and kill—  
My orders were to break you, and I will.”  

[Pre-Chorus]  
When echoes rise from time before  
And shadows knock upon your door  
The path you walk is born from flame  
And only you can stake your claim  

[Chorus]  
Stand for your fate, hold your ground  
Even when no hope is found  
Rise from dust, awaken fire  
Defend the world, defy the liar  
Prepare for war, your heart won’t break  
This is the stand that you must make  

[Verse 4]  
“Let’s make a deal,” Dreamer declares through wrath  
“We battle in eight months at that ruined castle’s path  
Leave these people be and train for what’s to come  
I swear I’ll rise, you’ll see what I become”  

The figure nods, and vanishes in air  
Leaving Dreamer staring, fists clenched in despair  
“What truth did he reveal? What lies were told today?”  
Only time will judge the war that’s on its way  

[Guitar Solo – dark and determined, leading to a fade-out]

[Pre-Chorus]  
When echoes rise from time before  
And shadows knock upon your door  
The path you walk is born from flame  
And only you can stake your claim  

[Chorus]  
Stand for your fate, hold your ground  
Even when no hope is found  
Rise from dust, awaken fire  
Defend the world, defy the liar  
Prepare for war, your heart won’t break  
This is the stand that you must make  

[Outro – whispering echo with orchestral fade]  
Eight months to war… and fate will decide…
